America’s Best Cleaners (ABC) continues to lead the way in sustainability efforts in the dry cleaning industry in the USA by encouraging its affiliates to make a positive long-term change and become certified by the newly branded Green Business Benchmark, formerly Green Business Bureau (GBB).
GBB’s recent rebranding signifies an opportunity for the organization to align with customer needs, establish clarity, and support the future development of products. Green Business Benchmark’s mission is to deliver easy-to-use software that empowers organizations to accelerate their sustainability impact with the ultimate vision of making sustainability accessible to every organization on the planet.
Leah Mowery, Green Business Benchmark’s Sustainability Program Manager, shared, “ABC has exemplified a steadfast dedication to sustainability throughout our relationship. Their proactive involvement has been instrumental in shaping innovative Dry Cleaning sustainability initiatives for their affiliates and beyond, resulting in certification and value creation for all involved.”
The dry cleaning industry is seeing an increase in regulations related to sustainable business practices, including Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), SEC regulations, and EU climate disclosures and reporting. Consumer demand for sustainable products and services is also on the rise, with 76% of US consumers and 80% of young US adults willing to pay more for environmentally friendly products according to the 2023 Business of Sustainability Index released by PDI Technologies.
ABC’s Executive Director Chris White shared, “Celebrating over 15 years of our alliance with the Green Business Benchmark, we at America’s Best Cleaners remain more committed than ever to leading the charge in sustainable business practices.
